On foot across India: Bihar traveller reaches Ramban on Kashmir journey
Banihal, July 8: In an inspiring story of determination, endurance and a passion for exploring India's cultural diversity, a solo traveller from Bihar, Parveen Kumar, popularly known as Begana Yatri, is drawing attention as he walks across the country from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, covering thousands of kilometres on foot. Kumar, a resident of Madhepura district in Bihar, reached Ramban along the Jammu-Srinagar National Highway (NH-44) on Wednesday as part of the final leg of his remarkable journey. Carrying the Indian Tricolour, a backpack and a traditional wide-brimmed hat, Kumar is steadily marching towards Srinagar. With less than 150 kilometres left before reaching his destination at Lal Chowk, he says the most challenging yet rewarding phase of his expedition is nearing completion. Speaking to Greater Kashmir , Kumar said he began his journey from Kanyakumari nearly a year ago. While he initially travelled through some regions by taking lifts, he has spent the last six months walking continuously to experience the true spirit of the country. The purpose of my journey is not merely to travel but to understand India's rich cultural heritage. I want to experience local traditions, languages, cuisine, clothing, customs and the unique lifestyles of people living in different geographical regions. Walking allows me to connect with people and places in a way no other mode of travel can, he said. As he passed through the picturesque Chenab Valley, Kumar attracted the attention of commuters, Shri Amarnath Yatra pilgrims and local residents, many of whom stopped to appreciate his extraordinary mission and wish him success. Kumar plans to conclude the walking phase of his cross-country expedition at the historic Lal Chowk in Srinagar. However, his journey will not end there. He intends to continue exploring Leh-Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab by hitchhiking and taking lifts, with the aim of discovering more of India's diverse culture, landscapes and people.

Name any car that faced issues due to ethanol-blended petrol: Gadkari
Amid criticism of the mandate for E20 petrol (20 per cent ethanol-blended) sales and complaints about reduced fuel efficiency of vehicles, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday dared critics to identify a single car that faced problems due to the mixed fuel. Addressing the 'Viksit Bharat Conclave' here, Gadkari further said that India's dependence on fossil fuels is both an economic burden - as Rs 22 lakh crore is spent annually on fuel imports - and an environmental hazard, making clean energy adoption crucial for the nation's progress. There is no case of any car facing issues due to E20 petrol. Has there been any car in the country that faced issues due to the use of E20 petrol? Just name one. ...false narratives are being spread about the roll-out of higher ethanol-blended petrol. These are paid campaigns, he said. India has already achieved 20 per cent blending of ethanol (produced from biomass like sugarcane, corn or rice) with petrol to create a cleaner-burning fuel, reducing reliance on imported crude oil and cutting carbon emissions. Vehicle owners in India do not have an option to choose different fuels at the petrol pump, unlike their counterparts in Brazil, where customers are presented with a choice of fuels with differential pricing. Under Brazilian law, there has to be a pricing discount for higher ethanol blends. On allegations that companies owned by his family members are involved in ethanol production, and that is why he is pushing for the roll-out of higher ethanol blended petrol, the road transport and highways minister said his family members own sugar factories, and their companies are not dependent on ethanol production. The minister stated that since ethanol is surplus in the country, the move to make ethanol from corn has generated an additional income of Rs 45,000 crore for farmers of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. When we decided to make ethanol from corn, the corn's market price was Rs 1,200 per quintal, and the MSP was Rs 1,800 per quintal. After the decision, corn's price went up to Rs 2,800 per quintal. Additional Rs 45,000 crore went into the pockets of farmers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, he said. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has proposed amendments to vehicle emission rules to widen the scope for higher ethanol blends and alternative fuels, paving the way for flex-fuel and pure bio-fuel vehicles across all vehicle categories. The draft changes to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 aim to provide for wider use of fuels, such as E85 (85 per cent ethanol with petrol) and E100 (which would allow vehicles to run on nearly pure ethanol), as well as B100 bio-diesel and hydrogen-CNG combinations.
